This book presents the most remarkable, beautiful, and innovative contemporary building façades. A building's façade sets the aesthetic tone for its entire design while serving a variety of functions, from regulating light and protecting against the elements to providing insulation for temperature and sound.
This fascinating book details hundreds of examples of interesting and progressive façades from around the world. Presented in colorful double-page spreads, each façade is photographed from a variety of angles and includes engaging texts that describe their significance. Readers can learn how traditional mashrabiyas in Abu Dhabi are being engineered to respond to light and to regulate heat, how a hospital in Mexico City has been constructed with ''smog-eating'' tiles, and how a ''bio-adaptive'' façade in Germany uses algae to generate energy and provide shade.
Knowledgeable and accessible, this compendium can provide a useful source of information for architects, engineers, and designers.
